For the third consecutive year, Emancipation Park will come alive when telecommunications company Digicel hosts a free concert to celebrate the life and works of reggae icon Bob Marley.

On Thursday, some of the best acts in the music business will be on display at Emancipation Park in Kingston, as they belt out their hits and bring us down memory lane with musical tributes to the reggae legend.

This concert forms part of Digicel's' partnership with the Bob Marley Foundation to deliver a month-long series of activities planned to celebrate the King of Reggae.

Digicel's Sponsorship Manager Tahnida Nunes, said; "As we continue to support the promotion of our unique culture, we are very proud of our partnership with the Bob Marley Foundation and we are happy to be on board to celebrate arguably one of the best performers this world has ever seen. Digicel remains committed to the preservation of our culture and celebrating this icon allows us to do this in a big way."

In expressing gratitude for the Digicel partnership, Stephanie Marley, director of the Bob Marley Foundation, said, "We are definitely appreciative of the support we have been getting from Digicel. This year we choose the theme 'Survival', and we think this is such a fitting theme based on the crisis that the world is facing. We believe strongly that as he said, 'Only the fittest of the fit shall survive', and we want to encourage our people to drive to be survivors."

The event, which kicks off at 6 p.m., boasts an impressive line-up including recently re-signed Digicel brand ambassador I-Octane, alongside his brand ambassador mates gospel singer Jermaine Edwards and dancehall princess Tifa. Other major acts on the line-up include Capleton, Luciano, Chinna Smith, Inna Di Yard, Chronixx, Ikaya and the Haile Selassie Choir, Nadine Sutherland, Leroy Sibbles and new comer Hempress Sativa.

There will also be a special performance by a winner of the Digicel Facebook competition - here a lucky Digicel fan gets the chance to win an opportunity to perform on the stage with the star-studded line-up.

Digicel will also be participating in the birthday celebrations of Bob Marley on Wednesday at the Bob Marley Museum, starting with an early-morning celebration at 56 Old Hope Road. The celebration will culminate with the annual 'One Love' Bob Marley football competition between masters and celebrities, to raise funds for charity.

Digicel customers will also be able to purchase Bob Marley songs as their InTunes RingBack tone, as well as selected images of Bob Marley as wallpaper.
